Here, in one big book, are ten exciting, detailed paintings, each surrounded by six small close-ups from the work. Every spread carries a simple note about its picture, date, and artist, and more activities at the end of the book get young readers looking and thinking. The artists range from familiar names such as Hieronymus Bosch and Jan Breughel the Elder to modern painters such as Marc Chagall and Georges Seurat, and also include a Moghul, a manuscript and trompe l'oeil painting, all chosen from the world's greatest art galleries, including The Museum of Modern Art (New York) and The J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles).
